First off, get a timer so that your lights will automatically turn on and off for a 12/12 light cycle. You will find that doing it manually isn't going to always work. Your plants will be fine since it was the first time, but really, get a timer or you could stunt the growth and cause stress for the plants which might hermie.

It takes more than 1 time of running a little late to mess it up, but you don't want to make a habit of it obviously. Like MJ said...get a timer so it will not happen again. Good luck!

I've done it. I have a regular work schedule and turn lights on at 6 and off at 6. And on Saturday's I was sleeping in and did it later several times. And with no probs to speak of
